Level 1: Quest 1–Accepting and Turning in Quests

The minimap orients you (arrow) to
quests (! and ?) and trainers (book).

You arrive in front of someone with a gold ! over his or her head.  Right click on that person and you are told to report to someone else.  You will see a gold ? appear on your mini-map in the upper right hand corner.  (Sometimes you will also see the gold ? on your main screen.) Doing this very basic quest teaches you how to figure out how to use your mouse to move (explained here) and how to read the mini-map to find the marker. 

Right-click on the person to
turn in a quest and receive your reward.

The quest you get will ask you to go kill a certain number of (usually) beasts of some kind.  That's next.
